约翰一书 2
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
我们的维护者基督
2 我的孩子们，我写这些给你们，是要你们不犯罪。如果有人犯了罪，在父的面前我们有一位维护者，就是那义者耶稣基督。 2 他为我们的罪作了赎罪祭，不仅为我们的罪，也为全人类的罪。 3 我们若遵守 神的命令，这样，就知道我们已经认识他。 4 凡是说“我已经认识他”，却不遵守他命令的，就是说谎的人，真理就不在他里面了。 5 然而凡是遵守他的道的，他爱 神的心就的确在他里面完全了。这样，我们就知道我们是在 神里面了。 6 凡说自己是住在他里面的，就应该照着他所行的去行。
爱弟兄的就是住在光明中
7 亲爱的，我写给你们的，不是一条新命令，而是你们本来就有的旧命令。这旧命令就是你们听过的道。 8 然而，因为黑暗渐渐消逝，真光已在照耀，我写给你们的也是一条新命令，这在 神和在你们来说，都是真的。 9 凡是说自己在光明中，却恨他的弟兄的，他到现在还在黑暗里。 10 凡是爱弟兄的，就是住在光明中，在光明中他就不会跌倒。 11 凡是恨弟兄的，就是在黑暗里，也在黑暗里行事。他不知道往哪里去，因为黑暗弄瞎了他的眼睛。
12 孩子们，我写信给你们，
因为你们的罪因着主的名已经得到赦免。
13 父老们，我写信给你们，
因为你们认识太初就存在的那一位。
青年们，我写信给你们，
因为你们已经胜过那恶者。
14 孩子们，我写信给你们，
因为你们认识父。
父老们，我写信给你们，
因为你们认识太初就存在的那一位。
青年们，我写信给你们，
因为你们强壮， 神的道在你们心里，
你们也胜过了那恶者。
15 不要爱世界和世上的东西。人若爱世界，爱父的心就不在他里面了。 16 原来世上的一切，就如肉体的私欲，眼目的私欲和今生的骄傲，都不是出于父，而是从世界来的。 17 这世界和世上的私欲都要渐渐过去，但那遵行 神旨意的却存到永远。
敌基督者否认耶稣是基督
18 孩子们，现在是末世的时候了。你们听过敌基督者要来，现在已经有不少敌基督起来了；因此我们就知道这是末世的时候了。 19 他们从我们中间离去，这就表明他们是不属于我们的。其实他们并不属于我们，如果真的属于我们，就一定会留在我们中间。 20 你们从那圣者得着膏抹，这是你们都知道的。 21 我写信给你们，不是因为你们不明白真理，而是因为你们明白，又因为谎言绝不会出于真理的。 22 那么，谁是说谎的呢？不就是那否认耶稣是基督的吗？否认父和子的，他就是敌基督的。 23 凡否认子的，就没有父；承认子的，连父也有了。 24 至于你们，总要把起初所听见的存记在你们心里；你们若把起初所听见的存记在心里，你们也就住在子和父里面了。 25 他应许给我们的，就是永远的生命。
26 我把这些事写给你们，是指着那些欺骗你们的人说的。 27 你们既然在你们里面有从主领受的膏抹，就不需要别人教导你们了，因为在一切事上有主的膏抹教导你们；这膏抹是真的，不是假的，你们应该按着他所教导的住在他里面。
神的儿女就不犯罪
28 孩子们，你们要住在主里面。这样，他若显现，我们就可以坦然无惧；他来的时候，我们也不至惭愧地躲避他了。 29 你们既然晓得 神是公义的，就应当知道所有行公义的都是从他生的。
1 John 2
International Standard Version
The Messiah is Our Advocate
2 My little children, I’m writing these things to you so that you might not sin. Yet if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus, the Messiah,[a] one who is righteous. 2 It is he who is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world’s.
3 This is how we can be sure that we have come to know him: if we continually keep his commandments. 4 The person who says, “I have come to know him,” but does not continually keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth has no place in that person. 5 But whoever continually keeps his commandments is the kind of person in whom God’s love has truly been perfected. This is how we can be sure that we are in union with God:[b] 6 The one who says that he abides in him must live the same way he himself lived.
We Must Obey God’s Commandments
7 Dear friends, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning. This old commandment is the word you have heard. 8 On the other hand, I am writing to you a new commandment that is truly in him and in you. For the darkness is fading away, and the true light is already shining.
9 The person who says that he is in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. 10 The person who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no reason for him to stumble. 11 But the person who hates his brother is in the darkness and lives in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I am writing to you, little children,
because your sins have been forgiven
on account of his name.
13 I am writing to you, fathers,
because you have known the one who
has existed from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young people,
because you have overcome the evil one.
14 I have written to you, little children,
because you have known the Father.
I have written to you, fathers,
because you have known the one who
has existed from the beginning.
I have written to you, young people,
because you are strong
and because God’s word remains in you
and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Stop loving[c] the world and the things that are in the world. If anyone persists in loving the world, the Father’s love is not in him. 16 For everything that is in the world—the desire for fleshly gratification,[d] the desire for possessions,[e] and worldly arrogance—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world and its desires are fading away, but the person who does God’s will remains forever.
Live in the Messiah
18 Little children, it is the last hour. Just as you heard that an antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They left us, but they were not part of us, for if they had been part of us, they would have stayed with us. Their leaving made it clear that none of them was really part of us.
20 You have an anointing from the Holy One and know all things.[f] 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because lies don’t come from truth. 22 Who is a liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Messiah?[g] The person who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. The person who acknowledges the Son also has the Father.
24 What you have heard from the beginning must abide in you. If what you have heard from the beginning abides in you, you will also abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 The message that the Son[h] himself declared to us is eternal life. 26 I have written[i] to you about those who are trying to deceive you. 27 The anointing you received from God[j] abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you this.[k] Instead, because God’s[l] anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not a lie, abide in him, as he taught you to do.[m]
Abide in Him
28 Even now, little children, abide in him. Then, when he appears, we will have confidence and will not turn away from him in shame when he comes. 29 Since you know that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been fathered by God.[n]
